No part of Kentucky was spared the record-breaking snow fall and temperatures this week. Schools, businesses and many government agencies had to close, as did the General Assembly due to the hazardous weather. When such weather emergencies occur, and so many counties and even the governor declare states of emergency, ensuring safety and helping those in trouble due to the extreme conditions take priority. I hope you and your family have remained safe and secure throughout the winter storms.

Like most of the state, the Kentucky House of Representatives saw its schedule put on ice last week because of the snow and plunging temperatures.
While the damage and outages did not cause the same level of devastation that Kentucky experienced in 2009, there has been one constant between now and then: The tireless work of our road crews, first responders, hospital and utility workers and those who have kept our local businesses open. I know many pitched in as well to donate food and clothing for those in need and to check on their neighbors and friends.

As most of you know, House Bill 145, which prohibits indoor smoking in public buildings and workspaces, passed in the House of Representatives this past week. Thank you State Representative Terry Mills for supporting this extremely important piece of legislation for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is very satisfying to see a representative of the people working to create a safer atmosphere for the health and well-being of all people.
